“And what are these Christians?”
“Those who believe in Christ.”
“And he?—is that his image?” pointing to the Good Shepherd.
“Oh Lady! it is only so much His image as the words Good Shepherd written in characters are such, they call up a notion and so does that figure. But in our worship we have no images, no sacrifices.”
“What is Christianity?”
“That is long to answer, but I may say in two words what it is to me.”
“Say on.”
“The Daylight of the soul.”
“How mean you?”
“I once was in darkness. I knew not why I was set in the world, whither I was going, what I ought to worship, what were my duties, where was right and what was wrong. I had no light, no road, no law. Now I have all.”
